"Yuer, I'm sorry for neglecting you during this period."

"Yue... Yue'er has never blamed her husband."

Gu Xinyue lay flat on the bed weakly, gasping for breath due to exhaustion, and even couldn't speak fluently.

But she liked this feeling very much. She felt very satisfied to feel her husband's love for her.

After pacifying the concubine Bingzhazi.

Chen An got dressed, got out of bed, and went to the alchemy room to work.

After setting up the furnace, there was no rush to refine the elixir.

Before refining the elixir, I opened the panel and took a look at the data.

【Name: Chen An】

[Cultivation: Fifth level of Qi Refining]

[Alchemy: First-level intermediate (459/500)]

[Spiritual Sense: First-level Intermediate (388/500)]

[Gold Finger: Proficient (239/500)]

[Spouse: Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue]

[Descendants: Chen Yuejian]

I am only 41 points of experience away from a breakthrough in the alchemy path.

Chen An was excited.

I was so excited that I simply stopped refining the elixir.

He got up and found a bunch of medicinal herbs.

Then he ran to the backyard and caught a magical chicken.

Then he went into the kitchen and started making soup for his little wife.

Only when his little wife's body recovers can he help him break through and become a first-level advanced alchemist.

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.

This day.

Chen An took the refined pills to the market to sell them.

Along the way.

He found that the core area was no longer safe.

Visible chaos.

Because the Bamboo Leaf Gang's undercover crackdown operation was ostensibly about arresting people based on evidence, but in reality it was following the principle of rather killing the wrong person than letting the guilty go.

This has caused everyone to panic.

Especially at the junction with Black Iron Villa.

Friction between the two gangs became more frequent, with clashes breaking out almost every day.

Just a few days ago, there was a fierce fight between the late Qi Refining masters from both sides. The scene was chaotic and there were casualties on both sides.

If no big shot had come out to negotiate peace, a war would have probably broken out between the two gangs that day.

Although the war did not break out, both gangs continued to send personnel to the border area.

The situation became very tense.

A war could break out at any time.

For example, many members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang who were originally responsible for maintaining public order in the core area have now been transferred to the border areas.

As a result, the core area is now unattended.

It's getting more chaotic day by day.

It looks like it’s almost catching up with the cheap area before the blood demon rampaged.

Quickly came to the market.

Chen An found an empty spot to set up his stall.

Just like before, I only sell love-breaking pills.

In fact, cartilage powder will sell better because it has a wider range of uses.

But Chen An didn't dare to sell the poison powder, for fear that after it was circulated, someone would use it on himself.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is a banned drug and is not allowed to be sold.

If the transaction is done privately, there is the risk of being robbed, so I simply don't sell it.

"Fellow Daoist, how much do you sell this Love Breaking Pill for?"

"Half a low-grade spirit stone for one bottle. Not sold separately."

“So expensive?”

The male cultivator who came to ask the price shook his head and turned away.

Chen An didn’t care. He wouldn’t have trouble selling the products anyway.

It just takes a little more time.

This was the first time that Chen An came here to set up a stall. Many vendors saw him as a stranger and started chatting with him.

Among them, a weapons vendor next door came over and asked with a smile:

"You look unfamiliar, have you just arrived at the core area?"

"Not really. I've moved here for almost three months. I was just setting up a stall at the other end of the market before. Today I accidentally arrived late and my spot was taken, so I moved here."

"Your cultivation level doesn't seem high, but you are able to settle down in the core area. It seems that your attainments in alchemy are not low."

"It's just average, barely enough to make a living."

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, the core area has been a bit unstable recently. Do you want to buy a weapon for self-defense? Since we are in the same business, I will give it to you at a lower price. Just consider it as making friends."

"No, I have weapons at home."

Chen An took a look at the crudely made weapons on the other party’s stall and made up an excuse to politely refuse.

At this time, a vendor selling talismans on the opposite side approached him: "Daoyou, I have a niece who is 28 years old, with a good figure and appearance, and has reached the second level of Qi Refining. She currently lives in the cheap area and wants to find a family in the core area to marry and move here. I wonder if you are interested in getting in touch with her?"

"No, I already have two wives and concubines at home, and my energy is limited."

Chen An smiled and declined.

In fact, he is very energetic and it would be no problem for him to find seven or eight wives and concubines.

But he only married orphans to avoid the trouble of relatives in the future.

While setting up the stall, he chatted with several vendors around him.

More than five hours later.

Chen An’s love-breaking pills are all sold out.

I sold enough for more than half a month and earned 11 low-grade spirit stones.

It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.

After all, mosquito legs are also meat.

After selling the pills.

His spiritual awareness was powerful, and he realized that he was being targeted by several monks with ill intentions.

I guess it's because my cultivation is not high, so I have become a piece of fat meat that others can bite at will.

"Sure enough, strength is king."

"If you only have money but no real power, you will probably just become someone else's meal."

"Well, we have to leave this market full of wolves."

Chen An carried the medicine box on his back and walked away quickly while thinking to himself.

As he walked, he walked faster and faster, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He discovered that the monks who had been staring at him in the market just now were actually following him! There were five of them in total!

One is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and four are at the fifth level of Qi Refining!

Based on the principle of "I will not offend others if they do not offend me, but if they offend me, I will grind them to dust", Chen An made a bold decision and walked naturally into a remote woods ahead.

The five monks who were following behind him couldn't help but show joy on their faces when they saw this, and immediately followed quickly.

But when they followed him into the woods, they found that Chen An was gone.

"Where are they?"

The bald male cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining who was leading the group said with a puzzled look on his face.

At this time, Chen An came out from behind a tree in front and said with a faint smile:

"Fellow Daoists, are you coming to me to buy some pills?"

"We don't have money to buy elixirs, but we are a little short of money recently, so we want to borrow some spirit stones from you to help us out of this urgent situation."

The bald male cultivator smiled gently.

However, he was a smiling tiger. While he was talking, a dagger slipped out of his sleeve secretly, intending to rob and kill people to silence them.

After all, in the core area, committing crimes will be punished.

Chen An took out all 11 low-grade spirit stones from his body and threw them on the ground one meter in front of him.

"Then come and get it yourself, I only have this many spirit stones."

"You are so generous, fellow Taoist!"

The bald male cultivator walked forward with a smile, the short knife in his sleeve pressed against his arm.

When the two were less than two meters apart.

Hmm? For some reason, the bald man suddenly felt a little sleepy.

Before he could react to what was happening.

The next second, a figure flashed past him at high speed.

"puff!"

Only such a dull voice was heard.

The bald man only felt a warm current surging between his eyebrows.

Then my limbs suddenly became weak.

The whole person fell to the ground and became motionless.

He is dead.

Chen An shot him in the head with a golden finger at close range.

Red and white were scattered all over the ground.

"Sixth level of Qi Refining?"

"That's all."

“Bang!”

Chen An stomped on the head under his feet and looked at the remaining four people with a harmless face.

The four of them turned pale with fear and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy:

"Dao... Daoist friend, this is all a misunderstanding!"

"Yes, it's a misunderstanding. We just wanted to borrow money, and we can pay it back double in two days!"

"Fellow Daoist, I am a female cultivator and I am still a virgin. Please spare my life. I can do it for you every day at home..."

"……puff!"

From a distance of ten meters, Chen An shot out a golden light that exploded the female cultivator's head.

He is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and there is no need for him to get close to increase the lethality of the golden finger.

"Fellow Daoist, don't kill me, I know something about the treasure map..."

"……puff!"

Chen An didn't listen to anything, he just raised his hand and shot him in the head with a golden finger.

The remaining two were in despair.

At this moment, cartilage was scattered all over their bodies, and it was difficult for them to even stand up. They could only wait for death to come.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me. I have lived for more than 20 years and have never touched a woman. I don't want to die like this!"

One of them was so frightened that he urinated and wailed.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Chen An had a blank expression on his face, and two beams of golden light shot out, taking the lives of the two men.

No matter how big or small the grudge is, as long as there is a grudge, kill.

This is his current code of survival.

Soon, he squatted down and touched the corpse.

The harvest was pretty good, with 34 low-grade spirit stones in total.

After putting all the spirit stones into his arms.

Chen An dug a hole on the spot and buried the five bodies in it.

Cover with a thick layer of soil.

Then plant a sapling that you picked up at random.

Perfect job.

After coming out of the woods, Chen An walked quickly towards home.

The core area is becoming more and more chaotic.

Before it gets dark, I'll go home quickly, take out half of my savings and go to the market to buy supplies.

From now on, unless there is something urgent, I will stay at home and not go out.

Having said that, I seem to be very strong now.

With the help of sleep-aiding techniques, golden fingers, and cartilage powder, he can easily kill a cultivator with a cultivation level as high as the sixth level of Qi Refining in an instant.

The future is promising.

When he thought of this, Chen An couldn't help but feel excited.
